معرفی
Daniel Price is a Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University, where he conducts research primarily in astrophysics with a focus on planet formation, binary star systems, and computational astrophysics. His extensive publication record includes 173 research outputs spanning over two decades.
Professor Price's research interests center around the physics of planet formation, particularly focusing on protoplanetary discs, dust dynamics, and the role of binary star systems in stellar evolution. His work combines sophisticated computational modeling with observational astronomy to understand fundamental processes in astrophysics. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of how gaps and rings in protoplanetary discs serve as indicators of newborn planets.
His recent publication trends show a strong focus on computational astrophysics, with numerous papers published in high-impact journals like Nature Astronomy and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. His work spans multiple subfields including dust formation in binary star interactions, stellar flybys affecting planet-forming discs, and the direct imaging of protoplanets. The research demonstrates a consistent trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated computational models to address complex astrophysical phenomena.
Professor Price serves as Editor-in-chief of Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia and participates in the CSIRO Scientists in Schools program, demonstrating his commitment to both scholarly publishing and science education outreach.
His current research projects include "Mapping the physics of planet formation" (2022-2025), "Magnetic fields in astrophysics: from galaxies to stars," and the AFRAN-funded "phantom2024" project. He also leads or participates in international collaborations like the DUSTBUSTERS project investigating dust and gas in planet-forming discs.
